Fancy Footwork - 6 Proprioceptive Ladder Exercises

Teach your dog exactly where its feet are, one rung at a time.

Body awareness is a buzzword in the dog sports world, and many exercises labeled body awareness are quietly doing something else. Strengthening, balance, sometimes even power. Take it from me, an experienced rehab vet, that matters, because an exercise that isn't doing what you think it's doing can't give you the result you're after. These six ladder exercises train proprioception and nothing else, which is what makes them safe and useful for puppies and adult dogs alike.

What you'll get:

• 6 exercises working through 3 levels of body awareness
• Video tutorials with the key form points called out on every exercise
• Build instructions for a PVC ladder measured to your own dog
• A bonus Ebook to download and take out to your training space
• Lifetime access, so you can come back to it whenever you and your dog need it

This course uses one piece of equipment, a proprioceptive ladder, and no fitness equipment to buy. A ladder is only proprioceptive when it's built to your dog's measurements, so we show you how to make one from PVC.
